The archive files linked below were created with a tool called 7-Zip, which compresses them to save space. Most of these files can be opened with other tools as well, such as WinZip. However, if you want to use 7-Zip itself, you can download for free at 7-Zip.org. Note: 7-Zip is not our product: Please direct any questions on its use to its creators at their Web site.

If you want MIDI files for a small number of specific hymns, most browsers let you do this by right clicking the ♫ symbol. To get compressed archives with our public domain MIDI files, click the file names below. The files are divided into small chunks to make them easier to download (you don’t lose as much if your connection goes down in mid-transfer).

Note: Some files have an additional “organ” version; when present, this is a file of the same name, with an added “-o”.

If you want scores (sheet music) for a small number of specific hymns, click the (PDF) or (NWC) image on individual pages. To download compressed archives with our public domain scores in NWC format, click the file names below.

Notes

Scores are available in Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) & NoteWorthy Composer (NWC) format. To read the PDF files, you’ll need Adobe Acrobat Viewer. For the NWC files, you can download software to view, print & edit them from NoteWorthy Software. Note: We do not sell or give technical support for NWC. Please direct any questions about NWC to NoteWorthy Software.

If your music notation software can read MusicXML, you can convert NWC files to MusicXML format with the program found here.

If you’re looking for a specific piece of music and don’t find it in the Cyber Hymnal, check out the NoteWorthy Composer Scriptorium; it has thousands of NWC files from various composers and genres.

Many scores do not include lyrics, since many tunes have multiple sets of lyrics (i.e., are used for more than one hymn). You can easily copy and paste lyrics from individual hymn pages.
